Debra Arlyn. It was released independently by Homeslice Records in the United States on March 27, 2008.

Background

Arlyn had recorded and released her second studio album '' Complicated Mess'' in 2006 with the purpose of trying to secure a record deal, but when that fell through she returned home to Oregon and began working on her next album while continuing to tour to support herself. During touring, she'd practice and write material that would ultimately end up on ''Tomorrow Another Day''. Arlyn also made more of an effort to do co-writing sessions after the self-penned ''Complicated Mess'', writing three songs with different co-writers, including Dapo Torimiro, Ben Margulies and Steve Sundholm. Arlyn sought out a new producer after exhausting herself self-producing her last album and met Rob Stroup, who became the lead producer for the album. Recording was handled at Stroup's 8Ball Studios in Portland, Oregon. In the period after releasing ''Complicated Mess'' in 2006, Arlyn met her future husband and the two were married around their second anniversary, a few weeks after the release of ''Tomorrow Another Day'' in March 2008. After the wedding, Arlyn would continue to tour constantly and working on new material for an EP release in 2009.
